BREAKING: The Bloody Seal Slaughter Has Begun

Even after young harp seals lose their white baby fur, they’re still babies. They’ll spend their first days relying on their mothers in order to gain weight as they learn to swim and survive on Canada’s Atlantic coast. Left to thrive in the wild, these young seals can live for more than 30 years as part of a large, social colony.

But that idyllic life has been replaced with a nightmare: Today begins Canada’s commercial seal slaughter — a bloody ritual in which tens of thousands of baby seals will be shot or bludgeoned and sometimes even skinned alive.

We need your help to put an end to it–before even more babies die.
